Baker: Big climb still ahead for MBTA

BOSTON — Improvements at the MBTA are moving the transit system "in the right direction," Gov. Charlie Baker said Thursday, but an "enormously significant climb" remains ahead.
Speaking at a Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation forum exploring the future needs of the state's transportation infrastructure, Baker reiterated his call for a focus on the T's "core system" to create a "reliable, predictable and dependable product" for riders.
